The Islamic Republic does not oppress and does not accept oppression. We do not oppress anyone and we do not allow anyone to oppress us. if someone wants to transgress the rights of the people of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran, we will behave towards them in a firm way. Thankfully, the capability to do so exists. The Iranian nation is a powerful nation and the Islamic Republic is an everlasting and well-established power.

The enemies are trying to turn the al-Ghadir issue into a pretext for fomenting a fratricidal conflict and war and bloodshed, while the al-Ghadir event can be a source of solidarity and brotherhood among Muslims.

This issue will not be forgotten and the nations will follow it seriously and Saudis, instead of playing the blame game and accusing the others, must shoulder their responsibility and apologize the Islamic Ummah and bereaved families of the victims.

With a painful heart and commiserating with the bereaved, I offer my condolences on this tragic incident to the pure soul of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and to Imam of the Time and to all suffering losses and all the mournful in the whole world of Islam, particularly in Iran.

Independence is freedom on a national level, but they defend freedom in name but reject independence. Independence means freedom, but it does not mean the freedom of a person, rather it means the freedom of a people from impositions, bullying, and exploitation and from being kept backward and lashed by others. When people become free of such things, they become independent.

The enemy is global arrogance whose complete embodiment is America and whose agents are reactionary regimes, and dependent and weak individuals.

The holy existence of the great Prophet and Messenger of Islam (s.w.a.) is the most important point in creating unity. The world of Islam can meet at this point. This is a point where the emotions of all Muslims are connected to one another. This is the center of love and affection in the world of Islam.

Mosques are different from other religious temples. The Holy Prophet (s.w.a.) did not just go to a mosque to say prayers and then leave. He used to speak about those issues which occurred to society and which were important. They used to call out, “Salaat gathers the people”. This call invited the people to gather in mosques. What for? For consulting and cooperating with one another about the issue of war, for gathering all the resources and for other purposes. You can witness in the history of Islam that mosques were places of teaching. We have heard and read in narrations that in the Masjid al-Haram and the Masjid al-Nabi, there were chains of classes taught by different personalities with different intellectual and religious orientations. Mosques are a base and this base pivots around dhikr and daily prayers.

Mosques are the core of resistance. When the word “resistance” is mentioned, one’s mind immediately thinks of military and security resistance and other such forms of resistance. Of course, this is definitely resistance, but a higher form of resistance is cultural resistance. If the cultural rampart and the cultural trench in the country is shaky and frail, everything will be lost.

The Takfiri orientation is Islamic on the face of it, but in practice, it is at the service of the great colonialist, arrogant and political orientations that are working against the world of Islam.

The enemies focus on culture more than anything else. Why? It is because of the great influence of culture. The target of the cultural moves of the enemies is the people's faith and beliefs. The officials in charge of cultural affairs should take care of cultural rifts. Cultural rifts are very dangerous. They should be sensitive about these rifts and they should be vigilant.

We need to instill self-confidence into our children from the beginning. Of course, this is not particular to children who are going through primary education. The same is true of high school students as well as university students.

One of the issues that should receive attention in hajj is the issue of Palestine. The issue of Palestine is the first issue of the world of Islam.

The spirituality of Hajj should be benefitted from. More than anywhere else, the opportunity to establish a close relationship with Allah the Exalted, to engage in divine dhikr and to develop a sense of presence before God exists in Hajj rituals.

The issue of Hajj is an important issue. Apart from the spiritual blessings and the constructive role of Hajj, this spiritual trip is an opportunity like many other great opportunities
